Stat check: Nashoba features a balanced attack. Quarterback Sam Bolinsky has 1,673 yards passing, 22 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. Senior back Alex Childs has rushed for 644 yards and nine touchdowns and junior Aidan Lee has contributed 324 yards and six touchdowns. Senior Matt Johnson leads the team with 94 tackles. Junior Jack Bonazzoli and senior John Duros have three interceptions apiece.

This matchup features two of the top defenses in Division 4. Nashoba is making its second consecutive Super Bowl appearance and third in four seasons. It rattled off six consecutive wins to start the season before a 35-0 loss to Wachusett. Since then, Nashoba has outscored opponents, 117-59, allowing just 9 points per game during the postseason. Dighton-Rehoboth was a surprise out of the South despite earning the top seed, knocking off a loaded Milton team in the sectional finals before holding Gloucester’s potent running team to just 14 points in the state semifinals.

PREDICTION

This game will be decided by defense. The team that limits big-yardage plays and forces turnovers will come away with the trophy. Dighton-Rehoboth’s defense is stingy but Nashoba has experience on its side.
